If Naylor is going to hit like Austin Hedges, the Guardians might as well just play Hedges. Naylor is batting .177 with two homers and six RBI in 73 plate appearances. His at-bats tonight produced two mile-high popups and a weak grounder for a combined xBA of .050.

Williams indicated afterwards that he would have preferred to keep going. He didn’t have much luck on a few of the singles he gave up, and while the homer he allowed was hit 403 feet to center, it would have left only 10 ballparks. Williams has been alternating good starts and bad ones on his way to a 2-2 record and a 5.14 ERA, so that means he’ll be better next time out in Toronto, right?

Shoulder issues tend to require lengthy absences, so it certainly sounds like a potential injured list situation. Sewald was lifted from Monday’s relief appearance against the Twins and will likely undergo further imaging to determine whether he’s dealing with any structural damage.

Sewald appeared to be in some discomfort after delivering a fifth-inning pitch and was lifted from the contest following a visit from Cleveland’s training staff. He’ll head for further evaluation. There should be an update on his status following Monday’s series opener.

Goodman gave the Rockies a 3-0 lead with his homer off Bryce Elder in the first inning. The 25-year-old has five homers and an OPS of .827 over his 90 at-bats, and he should continue to hit in the middle of the Colorado lineup. That’s not exactly the highest compliment, but it’s something.

Jeffers is finally on the board with his first homer. The caveat is that it came off a 50-mph lob from Will Wilson, as the Guardians finished with a position player pitching for the second game in a row. Jeffers has started 11 of the last 12 games, including two at DH, as the Twins have abandoned their catcher rotation that had seen Jeffers and Christian Vázquez mostly alternate starts the last two years. It wasn’t because Jeffers had been particularly productive, either; this is the first time all year that he’s finished a game with an OPS above .690. Vázquez, though, is currently at .450.

Sánchez hits the shelf ahead of Monday’s game against the Yankees, his former team. It’ll be Maverick Handley coming up from Triple-A Norfolk to take his spot on Baltimore’s active roster as franchise cornerstone Adley Rutschman’s primary caddy.
